Tier B · TL;DR
A testimonial section must answer three questions to drive conversion.

Claim

Most teams treat testimonials as a checkbox, but a good testimonial section should help users make a decision by answering: Did this product solve a problem like mine? Did it work for people like us? Do I believe this is a real story, not marketing fluff?

Mechanism

By structuring testimonials to answer these three questions, you reduce cognitive load and build trust, making it easier for prospects to self-qualify and move toward conversion.
